The idea is now: to implement RetroShare serverless Email and serverless Instant Messenger into Thunderbird. The Instant Messenger market is one with very high interest, see Google Talk or the merge of AOL-ICQ and MSN-Yahoo and all the Multimessengers. sending serverless Email is definitely a feature, how mail is in future organized. Retroshare Messenger is both: an email client and an serverless Instant Messenger.

This has the side effect, that no one can message and email me - besides the defined trusted friends. This means, communication is safe and encrypted. The main principle is, that all communication is done ONLY to friends, which were defined before with a symmetric key exchange. It is open for client and protocol, for all posix available, at the moment with QT/FLTK gui. There is a new serverless Instant Messenger out. So we need like in Google Mail the option for both: sending an email message or - if online - an Instant Message. And we do less email, because we are on Instant Messengers. And this is the new idea of email: 80 % of email we do to trusted friends. So instead of outsourcing Thunderbird, merge Thunderbird, with Sunbird. So just add to Thunderbird a calendar function to get reminders for emails to recipients with a birthday. It is in one step mass-ready: But, Outlook is still better, because it has a calendar. And we can develop the following ideas.ġ. Please, let Thunderbird for one year in this organizational structure as it is.

So I suggest to give Thunderbird just one year more in the Mozilla organization and then make it either a child company or a sf.net community project.Īfter that year, do not miss to ask the developers and coders about their interest, in which environment they want to work. Maybe Thunderbird has not such a usersbase and development features and money resources to stay in that shape as it is.īut I would not through away the baby with the bath tub, as we say here.įirst, making a new organization/foundation is too much work and takes time. Thanks for this initiative, I think I have two good ideas to the development, the Thunderbird development team and the organizational structure. Integrate serverless Email and Instant Messenging This shouldn't be provided for the casual user without the required knowledge.

Users which have the knowledge about its use (and its limitations) are able to install enigmail as an add-on.

I guess this request is into opposite direction of that effort.

PGP is similar to self-signed SSL certificates (no verification) and Mozilla is making efforts to limit its use.

There are several CAs providing free S/MIME certificates.

I recommend Tbird to Linux, Mac and Windows users alike and assist them with Enigmail and OpenPGP set up. I still think it is an area that has massive potential not only in terms of security but also in obliterating spam. Thunderbird has done more than any other client to make encryption easy. Account option so that any mail received that is not encrypted is automatically binned and/or deleted on the server if possible. Stock avatars could be provided but an option to supply ones own should exist.ĥ.

Users just send an avatar saying 'here's my security key'. Public keys have to exist, but masking them as a small image, an icon, an avatar, would make the adoption of encryption more playful and user friendly. Key creation and key backup should occur automatically.Ĥ. Thunderbird should automatically include Enigmail/OpenPGP as part of a seamless install. The user would handle all encryption settings from within the friendly looking Thunderbird address book interface.ģ. The Thunderbird address book should in essence do away with the Key Management tool under OpenPGP menu. The default would be to send encxrypted mail to all entries for which you have a public key.Ģ. In the address book there should be 2 types of entry - a plain email entry and a secure entry ie an email for which you have the public key. Sending and receiving encrypted email (even that word 'encrypted' is enough to put most people off) should be as easy as sending a regular mail. Thunderbird has made the use of OpenPGP (via enigmail) easy, but it could be and should be even easier.
